Mary Kirkland Center for Lupus Care

Monthly Conferences for the Healthcare Professional

Once a month, the Mary Kirkland Center for Lupus Care holds a Special Lecture which explores lupus and related disorders. Special lupus nephritis cases are presented during our semi-annual Lupus Nephritis Clinical Pathology Conference. All of these conferences take place on Fridays from 12pm – 1pm.

Below is a short description of our past presenters and their topics. We encourage physicians and research staff to attend. If you would like to inquire about upcoming lectures, feel free to contact us at SLEAPSCenter@hss.edu.

*Note: The Rheumatology/Nephrology Joint Lupus Nephritis Conferences consist of Lupus Nephritis case presentations followed by renal discussions and clinical comments by rheumatology and nephrology faculty. The goals of the conferences are to educate fellows, residents, and attendings on the topic, provide a sense of “real-life” outcomes of lupus nephritis at our institution, foster collaboration between rheumatology, nephrology, and renal pathology disciplines and ultimately help improve the care of our patients. The cases are selected by Kyriakos A. Kirou, MD, DSc, FACP.
